    I was on my way back from vacation. I felt little 1 so I walked to the dining car. When came back, the train 2 at station. An old woman 3 with a heavy bag. I came to her and said, "4 I help you?" The bag was really too 5 for her, she nodded (点头). Her seat was just next to 6. She sat down and 7 me. A moment later, we began 8 with each other. 9 we knew more about each other, it was 10 for us to get off. She thanked me again, especially (尤其) for our 11. She said that I gave her a wonderful 12.

    On our way out, she pointed at 13 women at the exit (出口) . She told me they were her 14 and granddaughter. Then we said goodbye to each other.

    A farmer had a friend and his friend was famous for growing apple trees.

    One day, the farmer's friend gave him a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it.

    The farmer loved the gift. But when he got home, he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the apples. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the apples. Finally he planted the tree in his wood. Nobody could see it, but there was no sunlight in his wood, the tree soon died.

    Later, the friend asked the farmer why he planted the tree in such poor place. "What's the difference?" the farmer said angrily. "If I plant the tree near the road, strangers may steal the apples. If I plant the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors may come at night and steal the apples. If I plant the tree near my house, my children may take the apples."

    "Yes," said the friend, "but at least someone could enjoy the apples. Now no one could eat the apples, and the apple tree died!"

    Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here's something you can do.

    Becalm (冷静). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can't solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved (卷入) in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. There are no winners in a fight.

    Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack (攻击), turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say "stop" before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn't stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.

    ________ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants fight and help him find right way to deal with the problem.
